The vicroads website doesn't say anything about engine transplants, they only say doing power modifications are illegal.

I know someone that does engineer certificates, would this be enough to get the car registered as a non turbo?

From what I've heard engineer certificate kinda means no question's asked... it's legal.

In any case, will I be attracting that much more attention in a 180sx considering that I've never been pulled over by a blue boy in my r31 skyline?

I'm just sick of havin a auto... you can't do anything with a auto when they've got such little power.

I have to agree that the prices have gone up for N/A skylines, even the auto skylines that are N/A are some what overprices. I am a dude and am stuck with an auto skyline r33, I had previously had the car up for sale but decided im going to just keep it until I get off my P's and then sell it and get a manual turbo 33 and pay some extra cash to make it look more interesting in terms of appearence. I cant say I dont like my car being auto, it has its ups and downs, obviously I would rather have a manual but by selling my car now it would be wasting my time and money when I can just wait until im off my P's.

I agree with the whole commodore at the lights and being humiliated, but sometimes its a laugh, especially when they rev the guts out of there 1999 model commodore and then when the lights turn green I just glide off and they stall. what can I say, "shit happens"? lol

I saw a guy last week who had a 93 model GTS manual N/A and he was a P Plater selling his car for some reason, but he was asking 14k and the car had done 194,000km, bit weird. But yeah prices are up and down all over the place its just about finding a decent legit one.

thanks guys

I'm not too worried about loosing in drags, I've had my fun moments in my brothers car on my L's (loser fly by from commodore... hilarious actually). But I just find auto's so... boring, there's nothing to do... you have less control, less power, less fuel economy. Why did they invent the things! lol The only reason I have a auto skyline is cause the r31 skylines only came in a sports and luxury version. The TI doesn't come as a manual, and the Silo doesn't have any of the electrics (pwr windows etc). - plus the TI's have mostly had a good life compared to the silo's.

Yeah I could never afford manual driving lessons and my parents cars were only auto. So I saved for my first car being a Skyline r33 GTS auto lol Now I have manual and cant wait to get off my P's.

Cya guys

The car is still going to listed as a turbo vehicle whether you have a non-turbo engine in it or not. Changing the engine number will not solve the issue with cops fining you.

Putting a sr20de into a originally turbo 180sx is straight fit.

that engine was in the n13-n15 pulsar in various trims yeah?

My advice for what its worth is in line with the guys telling you to keep to your 'crap bucket' p plate car...its worth the wait, trust me. I had my N16 pulsar till i turned 21...now I have a GTR, and the pulsar is now a spare car for when i need it, or for my sister to learn in.

Just makes it that little bit more special, having to work towards and wait for it. Its not worth the grief of the wrong sort of attention and such.

yeah i know the sr20 turbo was in the GTiR...i think they did use the NA prior to or around the same time as the CA18/16 though. Not 100% sure but wiki seems to back me up lol

to put it into perspective a gtst 4 door auto R32 sold on here for under 5k and there are 2 door n/a's going for 9.5k+!

its rediculous

muhaha my girlfriends car was this ;) 4G. No body seems to want auto turbos. Really good buy atm. Car has served us very well already.

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
